Just finished watching the Paw Patrol Mighty Movie. And I gotta say it's a solid movie. Here are my thoughts on it
So first off some positives. The animation is just as good as the first movie and 10 times better than the show, second the soundtrack is pretty good. Not something i'm gonna be blasting 24/7 but it gets the job done, thirdly, I really liked Skye's backstory. It was really emotional and well done and shows off her determination well.
Alright, time for the negatives, one thing that really upset me is that they just completely forgot about the villains after they were defeated. So the Mad Scientist lady ends up getting defeated by the Paw Patrol and Liberty ends up using her stretchy powers to hold onto the scientist so she can't escape but then when they show all the other pups giving their crystals to Skye, she's just no where to be seen, there's no scene of her in prison, no post credits scene showing what happened to her, she's just gone. Same thing with Mayor Humdinger, he just completely vanishes from the plot after he's defeated. There's no scene showing what happened to them afterwards. I know they say they're going to jail but I'd still like to see it, but atleast Humdinger didn't just vanish from thin air like the mad scientist lady
Another negative I have is with the crystals. They're basically never explained. The crystals come from the meteor the ends up destroying the Paw Tower (which i'll talk about later) but they never really explain much from that. Like why does the meteor give the PAW patrol super powers, where did the meteor come from? Is it from another planet? I don't know because they barely explain it, which I wish they touched upon more.
My last problem with the film is that they just completely forget about the Pup Tower being destroyed, which I feel was missed potential and could have been used to drive the characters forward, but they just never bring it up again, which is underwhelming. Like, they mourn the loss over the tower for like 10 minutes, but then Rubble makes a wacky joke and everyone just forgets about it.
In conclusion, PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is alright. Kids will definitely enjoy it, and fans of the TV Show will also get a kick out it, overall i'd give the movie a 6/10. Thanks for reading.
